Yesterday I awoke to a crashed linux system. The first time in almost 2 years on the same system. I have not added any hardware or software, that I know of, to cause this.
The error is
kernel panic skpush: under 001407b8:13340884 in swapper task - not syncing
I rebooted and it happenned again 3 or 4 hours later. I then turned off swap and did a mkswap on the swap partition and rebooted. It failed again this morning after 15 hours.
I had a cron job running that did nothing but save the results of free and uptime and do a sync every 5 minutes. Looking at the last one before failure yields no strange results. Loads were near 0 and memory was about the same as always. Very little of swap (as usual) is used. I have 32M of RAM and a 40M swap. The system is a Pentium 120. I updated the kernel many months ago from 1.3.68 to 2.0.30 without problems. The system had been very stable. It is SCSI no IDE. I am assuming this error means swap memory but it may have nothing to do with that.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. This could be just a memory or drive failure but I have no reason to believe that.
Doug
